    TRUE, instead of checking his mirror or driving down to honda corner and around into the pits, he decided to just cut straight across the track onto the gravel at the overhead crossover, silly silly move obviously wasnt thinking, he got off lightly, glad no1 was hurt especially passangers, but im gutted after all the hard work spent on the car,

    as Robbie said chin up, and thats what im doing but times being how they are and me tryin my outmost best to have the car out for round 1 and then this happens, i'm very F**KED off!

    To be fair he was nt trying to cut off the track he was still trying to get it under control. he had no intention of pulling off into pits at the crossover was going to head around honda.

    To be honest i dont know why im getting the blame. i had a blow out as i was drifting the straight, the car took off and i had to correct it twice to get it under control, at this stage i was in the middle of the track, so its up to me to pull over, its racing rules and mondello rules to pass on the left only, so i pulled to the right, i did check my mirrors, but there are blind spots, especially when half sideways and then bang, you hit me from behind trying to pass on the right at full tilt. i asked if you saw me and why didnt you brake, and you just said you were full on the pipe. now im not blaming you, but i dont see how im to blame either. its an accident, thats how motor-sports go.

    Living as close to Mondello as I do and having done 3zillion track days etc the above is correct with regard to the rules!
    Wasnt there on the day but what Ronan mentions about passing on the left if true!
